<tt>Dear Ludmila -<br>
<br>
From the top top of command window, select <br>
<br>
Options -> Plugin Manager -> Databases -> FLASH -> Add
to preferred list -> Apply<br>
<br>
You may want to move FLASH to the top of the list and select Apply
again.<br>
<br>
Then select<br>
<br>
Options -> Save Settings<br>
<br>
You may need to restart Visit for the above changes to take place.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>
<br>

<div>Dear Scott and Jonathan,<br>
</div>
thank you for
the answer, yes, I have tried what you suggest, the thing is
that in the popup menu (filetype list) when I tried to open
a FLASH file, it does not show the option FLASH. <br>
</div>
I do not understand, I followed the standard procedure but
FLASH option is not on the list.<br>
<br>
</div>
thank you in advance<br>

<div>Dear community of flash users,<br>
</div>
i am new using FLASH. I have install all the
requirements and I was able to run
succesfully the Sedov problem and the
WindTunnel problem in serial and in parallel
and varying some parameters. The thing is
that I also install visit 2.10, and it seems
to work but the plugin dedicated to read the
FLASH data it was not installed, then I can
not visualize any data.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I have made the following steps:<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
1) I have run the script build_visit.sh that I
download from (<a href="http://portal.nersc.gov/project/visit/releases/2.10.0/build_visit2_10_0" target="_blank">http://portal.nersc.gov/project/visit/releases/2.10.0/build_visit2_10_0</a>).
<br>
<br clear="all">
<div>
<div>
<div>2)In the folder
/home/ludmila/visit/visit2.10.0/src I
have run : make all . I attach the log
file<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>3) then in the folder I run :
/home/ludmila/visit/visit2.10.0/src/bin/./visit
-assume_format FLASH <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>4)The visit Gui interface open but
when I open the results of my simulation
I get the following error (I attach the
.png of the screen):<br>
<br>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">VisIt
could not read from the file
"/home/ludmila/FLASH4.3/object/sedov_hdf5_chk_*
database".</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">The
generated error message was:</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">There
was an error opening
/home/ludmila/FLASH4.3/object/sedov_hdf5_chk_*

tried using the following file format
readers to open the file: <No
suitable plugins were identified></p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">5)
I thoght that if I run:
/home/ludmila/visit/visit2.10.0/src/databases/cmake
.</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">it
will compile all the plugins including
the FLASH, but I get the following
error:</p>

</p>
<p style="margin:0px;text-indent:0px">see
the last .png<br>
</p>
<br>
</div>
<div>I have been trying several ideas but
no one seem to work. I would like to ask
you if some have some idea of what am I
doing wrong of if I am missing some
thing.<br>

<div>Thank you for your time <br>
